Easy way to reduce file size of pictures for posting pictures

[sligermachine]

After you take your picture with your cell phone .Tex. it to your own phone #   or your favorite buddy  that you talk to all the time after you Tex. it the resolution size will drop in my phone 13% of original size most of the time or less . after the Tex. is done save the  " new picture " in your gallery, or start a" post it" file in your phone.  Now the picture below my 1925 master roadster   was 4.5 MB before the Tex. was sent .the second pic. I just like but thats just me --kyle

This is what I do. I right click on the picture. Then choose open with paint. Then go to the view tab. Then select zoom. Then custom, and then click 50%. Then hit save and your file will be half of the original size. That's for XP. If you're using Windows 7 then click on the re size tab on the home screen and change the 100% to 50% and save. Works every time for me.

There happens to be a parallel thread discussing this problem. The OP of that thread should be given these suggestions.

In Windows 10, right click on the file, select Edit and it opens in Paint. Then Home Resize as above.
